how do i go about getting my FC to be a twin turbo?
i blew up my s4 engine and i just ordered my s5 from japan2la and i was wondering if i can take my s4 and s5 turbo and make a twin setup from that?
If i can twin my FC where can i buy the twin manifold, if i can get a link that would be cool.
thanks for helping

Short answer: No. If the mere thought of any modding - reflected by the response - is 'how,' than no.
Long answer: Isn't the FD TT manifold the same bolt-pattern? You could try using that, but potentially having to run the NS mod, since you wouldn't be running six-kaBILLION solenoids, like on the FD.
If you're bolting it to a new engine, I'd say just get an aftermarket manifold, that way you can relocate the turbos... I think that may be your biggest problem: capacity.
I know how much of a PITA stuffing one turbo in, between the manifold and the frame, much less TWO.
Otherwise: see above.

I wasn't going to suggest that, since I was trying to answer the question, but I do agree.
You can go to Rotary-works and pick up a ST manifold > Here... I think xBoxThug13B has one, FS, as well.. Hit him up.
Either way, you're also going to have to source an external WG. but the ST manifold will relocate the turbo, nicely.

i dont know enough to even know what you just said. allive ever seen for twin turbos is just straight in line with the exhaust.
if parallel means they are straight with the exhaust then yes i want to do that.

as i stated im not to smart on this stuff yet. i just enjoy the idea of twin turbos but as im seeing people are saying a single may be better. thats what i have been gathering.

the FD has a smal and a big turbo if im correct. At lower rpm turbo 1 does his job, above the biger one takes over.
What i meant with parallel is they both work at the same time. But you do need enough kick out of the exhaust to get them both running.
The time at wide open throttle that the turbo is not working is called lag.

but yes i would want my setup to be parallel.
However, you can run a non-divided manifold with a large aftermarket single and have a quick spool valve to block one scroll side off until a desired rpm/boost level.
You CAN run twins, sequential, parallel, compound, single...whatever the hell you want. Just do research. Dont bother asking. Makes you sound like someone who just graduated from swapping bone stock b series motors into a honda civic.
